What is a "floor exercise"?
A floor exercise is a gymnastics event where athletes perform a choreographed routine on a padded, square mat. The routine includes acrobatic moves such as flips, jumps, and tumbling, combined with dance elements that demonstrate coordination and creativity. The performance is set to music and must showcase the gymnast’s strength, flexibility, and artistic expression. Gymnasts are judged on the difficulty of their moves, the execution, and how well they maintain rhythm and form throughout the routine. The floor exercise is performed by both men and women in gymnastics competitions.
